So, I bought the Honda.
It's fun.

I could write five paragraphs about how cool (literally) it feels to finally, after 15 years of not making use of my license, to ride a bike.
Picked it up from the honda dealership in the late afternoon and spent about 2hrs driving home. 90% of that on the highway, which was very cold.

I need a garage.
And my hands hurt a little and I might've caught a cold, but I didn't die despite it being a "hurrr 1000!!!" ccm bike.
I am aware that I'm the person with literally the least riding experience in the entire thread, but I'd still like to say that apparently, if you don't WANT to ride like a racecar driver, the bike doesn't react as if the road was a racetrack. In fact, the bike reacts perfectly fine and controllable, at least in rain and normal mode.
Didn't try sports mode yet (won't for a while either), but so far I did not have a moment where I feld like the engine was ambushing me with it's power/acceleration. Hope it stays that way.

I love taking pictures of it, but I'm shit at photography.
